Harry is in his third year at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. As a new professor of defense of dark arts comes to the school everything becomes mysterious as his lessons get cancelled once a month and a criminal called Sirius Black escapes from the Azkaban jail and starts looking for Harry.

One night, while Harry was having tea with professor Lupin, the defense of dark arts teacher Snape walked in and glared mysteriously at Harry and gave Lupin and enormous jug full of some potion. (Snape was the potion teacher.) From when Black escaped from prison, the Azkaban guards, Dementors, were set to guard Hogwarts. After Grryffindor, the house Harry was in, won the quiditch cup the tension increases and suspicious things begin to happen… One night Harry and his best friends, Ron and Hermione, were outside castle gates Harry’s parents… 24 hours later, Harry and Hermione saved Sirius Black’s life and told everyone the truth of what happened twelve years ago, on the day of his birthday.

My favourite character

My favourite character is Harry because he is agile and sporty and can think things through and make plans out quickly. I found it interesting to discover that Sirius Black was Harry’s godfather. Sirius Black didn’t betray Harry’s parents.

Recommendation

I would recommend the book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to children aged 8 and onwards because, in my opinion, children under 8 probably wouldn’t understand the plot and also might be scared by some of the parts in the middle and near the end of the book.
